The first plant is a peony @Dollystocks8, as we've all said. I asked what you meant by the term 'Hogwart thingy ', in case you thought it was Hogweed. Totally different plant in every way. The other one [with the berry] is Hypericum. The common name for that is St John's Wort. It helps if people use correct terminology for IDs, because then people can research their plants properly, hence Hypericum.
Many plants have the same common names, which leads to a lot of confusion, especially for those trying to ID them if there's no photo.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

Thank you dear Fairy Girl, you learn something new everyday!Yes, these are the names I was searching for in my mind😜😜😜
Don't worry about cutting the peony leaves, they go dormant at this time of year anyway. When you repot make sure it's not buried as they like their rhizome to be near to the surface of the soil in order to flower.
Thank you, will remember that advice. Gosh, have I ruined the flowers development! Probably take years to turn into the beautiful flowers kindly posted above☹️
